R help - Nov 2010 - Strings from different locale

I'm doing some test processing of a cvs file that appears to use a different
locale
from my machine.

I get the following warning:

 input string 1 is invalid in this locale

My locale is US. Is this simply a matter of changing my locale to 'all;
locales?

I don't know what locale the string is in, is there a way to detect this or
translate

Steven -
    Does typing

Sys.setlocale('LC_ALL','C')

before the offending command suppress the message?
